Feature: Dana Sonnenschein is a professor at Southern Connecticut State University, where she’s been teaching writing and literature (from folklore through Shakespeare) since 1994. Her most recent poetry collection, Bear Country, won the 2008 National Federation of State Poetry Societies Stevens Manuscript Prize. Her previous works include another poetry book, Natural Forms (Word Press, 2006) and two prose poem chapbooks, Corvus (winner of the Quentin R. Howard Prize, Wind, 2003) and No Angels But These (Main Street Rag, 2005). Her poetry has appeared recently in Feminist Studies, Epoch, Lumberyard, and Silk Road. Over the last two years, however, she’s changed genres and written a novel about Lady Macbeth, enabled in part by residencies awarded by the Ragdale Artists Community and Vermont Studio Center.
